Simply by Suzy

did you have your heart set on booking a photoshoot right now but not sure if or when you'll be able to have a pro photographer with you?

If you're feeling heart broken because celebrating this time with a photoshoot seems so out of reach, I'm here to tell you that it IS possible to still have beautiful photos of your life right now. Whether it's going through my online photography course for parents on your own, having a shoot at your home or meeting place of choice that keeps everybody safe, or booking a virtual photoshoot so I can hold your hand through the process (I'll help direct you to take your own photos with your big camera or phone and even professionally edit your images!). Whatever way you need me right now, I'm here to help serve and support you. Scroll down through my website to read more about myself and the experience of working with me, or click below to go straight to my virtual offerings.

My name is Suzy and for the last 12 years I've had the absolute honor & privilege of photographing families during their life's greatest moments (and I have the smile lines to prove it). Now I spend my life working to help parents not only make memories at photoshoots with me in front of my camera, but I also created an online course to help parents learn how to take beautiful pictures of their life with their own cameras in a way that's fun and connective for their family.

xoxo,

Working with me is about so much more than creating pretty pictures to share on Instagram (although that's nice too). It's about the long game - it's a totally personalized, luxury service meant to create not only beautiful images of your family's life but also an experience for you all to get more deeply connected with each other.

When my first daughter was born I ended up having a c-section after trying for a home birth. When I got pregnant with our second daughter, we decided to do a scheduled c-section. And I finally got the beautiful birth experience I always dreamt of having.

A c-section can be beautiful too
